The Thai bitterness over getting stomped by the Philippine basketball team at the SEA Games has gone into full "hater" mode. Not fun to read. I suggest ignoring the Thais until they grow up. Just keep building PH bball power.
Congratulations to Filipino athletes for their fantastic competitiveness and wins in the SEA Games. Highly inspiring. The only thing holding Filipinos back is their government's lack of dedication to winning. They're too busy stealing and driving fast cars.
Rep De Lima earned her voice of authority as a woman of integrity who spent 7 years maliciously imprisoned by the father of the weirdly popular Sara Duterte. C'mon Filipinos. Prove you can think, and feel injustice. DDS are paid to make you think backward. Stop rewarding them.
Plan or find hell on earth. It's a choice. Article by Karl Garcia.

I wonder how US Embassy visa processing in Manila will change. It used to be "you are a single woman under 40", instant denial. Now it's going to be, "uh, you're brown", instant denial?
America is ugly today.
An excellent brief on maritime laws in the hopper and the promise of a more modern seafaring Philippines. Valuable read for those wanting to see a first world Philippines. Author is Karl Garcia.

It's my observation that most Christians praise Jesus but a whole lot don't listen.
The US is a murderous rogue state. Republicans lost their humanity, and their commitment to democracy. The world is paying the price for this weakness of American character.
Bato is already in jail, mentally, and just starting to pay the price for his role as Duterte's Chief Executioner. He'll be crying and whining for the rest of his life. Accountability can be merciless.
Frankly, it doesn't matter to me who you elect as President as long as that person is honest. That character trait will become government's character. It's why Aquino succeeded, not because he was a liberal or smart or worked hard.
I shake my head at Sara Duterte saying she's ready to be president. What a lack of class. If classless arrogance, corruption, incompetence, and giving the Philippines to China is what Filipino voters want, then she'll get elected. And the US will not be the only country that voted itself into hell.
Whenever I write of DDS I have to censor myself to take out all the swear words. Most people are for the Philippines, and sense, and honesty, and the values in the Constitution and Bible. Others love power and money and playing the uneducated for fools. DDS are miserable people.
Co plus 17 others seems like overkill of nonames and underkill of names. Where are the senators, the Bersamins, the Go?
FB is an invasive species that watches your every move, tracking you as if you were Jason Bourne. It is a force causing despair, depression, laughter, hissy fits, and extraction of money from your various accounts. I don't take it so seriously myself. It's like the Matrix but has way more cats.
Yes, I've observed that much of the time his feet are too close together (weak reaction time) and he seldom correctly guesses the offensive player's likely move (not studying players?). Do Lakers have a defense coach? Who?
What is INC's problem, anyway? They think Jesus was political? They have their own flock under control and now want to control others' flocks?
Yo, Philippines!!!
um. you ok?
LOL, Senator Cayetano wants minority representation on the ICI, as if police work needs to get screwed up by politics. The worst senators in my book are too many to list down, but he's definitely pushing for the bottom.
What a difference a change of Ombudsman makes. From enabling crime to prosecuting crime. Man, Martires was awful. We can see that clearly now.
Fake book in that it does not represent a human's desire to connect personally at the heart and brain, but to give you plastic, say it is wood, and connect at the wallet. Yes, lol.
The Duterte family seems to whine a lot. Accountability is a heavy load.
They hatched together under the mango tree drunk on red horse.
We don't live normally anymore more. And we're never going back to it.

To me the Discayas are the thick-faced rot that keeps the Philippines behind the rest of the world as huge investments are rerouted from helping Filipinos to living high. And legislators who steal are not patriots.
The reading room is getting smaller as booksellers know. And people are getting dumber as looking around will show.
